Windows 10: Sort by 'Date Modified' but keep folders at the top?

After installing the new update, I cannot sort my files by Date Modified (recent files first) and have my folders first before my recent files like I used to. They go straight after all my files. The only way I can get the files to the top is if I sort by Date Modified (oldest files first) which is not something I want to do. Any way to fix this?

Sort in File Explorer by Date Modified with Folders always on top (ALPHABETICALLY)

In File Explorer (Windows 10), I want to sort my files by Date Modified (most recent on top) but with Folders always on top. I've read in countless forums across the internet that there's a great, easy way to do this: Click Date Modified to sort that column
descending, then Shift+Click on Name and voila! Folders appear at the top of the list. Fantastic!

However, what no one ever points out in their elation is that the Folders are then sorted (at least for me)
reverse alphabetically! So the first Folder on top starts with a W, and the last Folder before the individual files show starts with an A. You would think that you could just Shift+Click again on Name, and it would reverse it, but it does nothing.
To be clear, I don't need my Folders on top sorted by Date, but I also think it's silly that they would have to be in reverse.

Sorting seems like pretty basic functionality, and the ability to sort by multiple columns in multiple ways at once is commonplace in things like Excel and iTunes. Is there no way to accomplish this in File Explorer?

Thanks.

 

How do I sort my folders in Windows 10 by date modified while keeping my folders on top?

I never had this problem until moving to Windows 10.
I have already looked and saw a mention of if I have it on date modified, then right click again and then hold shift while clicking on name, the folders will be on top but still set to date modified. This is not the case as it's not working for me.
It has the folders on top, but it's not sorted by date at all... unless I'm somehow doing something right.
Is there an exact step by step I need to do?

 

Sort files by date with folders on top

Option 1: Sort by "Date" column, instead of "Date Modified". If "Date" is missing, add it by right-clicking column header and click More...

Option 2: Sort by "Date Modified" and then do a secondary sort by Name holding the SHIFT key.

This behavior is the same in Windows 7 as well.
